Reading Club – September
The Red Rock Public Library’s Reading Club is back! And you can join at any time!
Our theme for September is:
“Stories That Stay”
Even when we move on, the best stories (and friendships) stick with us.
Our meeting will take place October 7th, so come and visit our Reading Club dedicated display to choose your title!
The Reading Club works like this:
We’ve selected a diverse range of books from The Red Rock Public Library’s collection with a theme in common, covering different genres, cultures, periods, etc.
After a few weeks we’ll meet at the library to discuss the books we read over some light refreshments!
The guidelines are informal- you can read more than one of the book selections if you are an avid reader (but please only borrow one book at a time!) Busy month and you couldn’t finish your pick? You can still join us to discuss our reading!
Visit the library, email rrockib@gmail.com or call 807-886-2558 to register at any time!
This program is for 18+
